Zsteve · 11-02-2009, 06:39 PM

Rich did say last week he was going to SEMA he was staying at the Stratosphere I think that is the name Maybe we can call him there

I am going to take the Texas Titan to Uprev on Wed to get tuned.I will get some info then. There it is in the background

Oh yeah, he is at SEMA but Jared and the rest should be there and that's who matters in this instance. I'll call tomorrow to find something out..not sure they even get on here since Rich does most of the marketing side of things.

Rich would be the one going to Sema if anyone went. Jared would stay at the shop with the other guys doing the tunes as he knows the software in and out while Rich is just the sales person.

So are we seeing the opposite trend of trying to reduce the throttle lag and improve response? :-(

Only at cold start for the first couple of mins. After that, it's all good. I've actually started to get used to the behavior and, this morning, was able to change the way I modulate the clutch enough to actually get off the line semi-smoothly. I wouldn't switch back to my stock ROM right now even if I could. The benefits of the tune outweigh this minor bug. Of course, that's just my opinion as it relates to my specific car. Others may feel differently. And for 7AT models, there's no way to change the way you modulate the clutch, so there's no workaround if you have a 7AT (point being, this still needs to be fixed).

Knowing how uprev works, they should have a fix really really quickly. And the issue is only on cold start for a few seconds. After that, it seems normal.

Sharif, have you talked to them to confirm they're aware of the issue?

We got a little silly one night on RCZ's journal thread, started trash-talking at each other (in jest). Link -> RCZ's 370Z Journal.

RCZ · 11-03-2009, 01:38 PM

haha, everyone knows its backwards now. I am the runner up. Whats your next step anyway?

semtex · 11-03-2009, 03:47 PM

I'm thinking sway bars. You did sways, didn't you? Which ones did you go with? Stillen? Hotchkis?

Other than that, I need to shift my fiscal priorities for the foreseeable future. It pains me to say this, but as a result of IBM's relentless labor globalization and wage equalization strategy, my job responsibilities are being transferred to their new center in Dubuque, IA. Which means there's a good chance that I'll be losing my job in a few months. Needless to say, modding just dropped a few rungs down in the priorities ladder.

I hear you buddy. While not for the same reasons, modding has fallen back a bit on my list too. I WAS going to get my sways, but decided to hold out a little while this thing blows over. I am thinking about going with the stillen. They have been great to me so far and I think their sways will be everything I need.

Sorry to hear that man, IBM has been cutting jobs left right and center. At least they have decent layoff packages if you have been there for a few years.

From what I could determine the Hotchkis was slightly stiffer than the Stillen, however I think the Stillen suits a street car better. On my car the Hotchkis was too stiff up front for the stock alignment to handle and was detrimental to turn-in response until the front camber was increased. The Stillen also appears to be better made in that they use a crimp on lateral stop instead of a welded stop like the Hotchkis. The Hotchkis have been known to fail at the weld. I also think the Stillen is cheaper. The Hotchkis is 3-way adjustable in the rear where as the Stillen is only 2-way. Neither is adjustable up front.

I can only speak for the stiffness of the Hotchkis on my car but the body roll was greatly reduced, and the grip level increased slightly in the mid to high speed cornering. Car also feels more predictable with bumps in corners at speed.
